What is an important synapse site for afferent fibers traveling to the sensory cortex?
The thalamus.
Important synapse site for afferent fibers traveling to the sensory cortex?
thalamus Also, the gray matter in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
What is the name of the synapse site in the brain for afferent fibers that travel to the sensory cortex?
i think it is the choroid plexus....not for sure though ---- Afferent sensory fibers (those returning to the brain from the periphery) synapse first in the posterior horn of the spinal cord, ascend one to two levels and decussate (cross over) at the anterior white commissure before their axons migrate to the anterior or lateral spinothalamic tracts. These then synapse again in the thalamus for integration before they go on to the post-central gyrus - the sensory cortex - and other sites in the cortex.
What is the site of axons and afferent neurons?
AnswerThe thalamus is the important synapse site for afferent fibers traveling to the sensory cortex.
What nerve carries only sensory fibers?
nerves carrying just sensory fibers are referred to as sensory and or what nerves?
What type of fibers make up the posterior and anterior roots of the spinal nerve?
Both Afferent and Efferentboth sensory and motorContains motor & sensory fibers!The spinal cord consists of nerve fibers that are afferent and efferent.
What is the fiber type in the dorsal root?
efferent (motor) I'm guessing it's choice B in your packet?
Is Ganglia associated with afferent nerve fibers contain cell bodies of sensory neurons?
sensory
What is the relay center for sensory impulses?
The thalamus is the main relay station for all sensory impulses going to the cortex of the brain, except olfactory sensations. Afferent nerve fibers come into the thalamus, which sends the signals on to the correct part of the cerebral cortex for processing. This is a large, oval structure located on either side of the third ventricle of the brain.
Nerve fibers that conduct sensory signals to the central nervous system is known as?
Nerves that conduct to the CNS are afferent.
What is the neuron that carries impulses away from the central nervous system?
sensory neurons trust me i know this one for sure i went on over 29 websites to find this out
Is the optic nerve a sensory or motor nerve?
The optic nerve is a cranial nerve (CN II) that sends special somatic afferent (sensory) fibers to the lateral geniculate of the thalamus. Here, they synapse and continue via optic radiations to the primary visual cortex of the brain. The motor portion of the eye is controlled by cranial nerves as well only they are: Oculomotor (CN III), Trochlear (CN IV), and Abducens (CN VI); there is also some sympathetic innervation (not from cranial nerves) that cause pupillary dialation.
